Coley Ellis

As a real estate agent born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin, I have a deep connection to this community and a passion for helping people find their perfect home. My focus is on building lasting relationships, delivering exceptional service, and ensuring my clients feel fully supported every step of the way. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, I am committed to helping you achieve your real estate goals with confidence and ease.
 
Being from Madison, I know this area inside and out, making me a great resource for both locals and those relocating here. I love helping individuals and families transition smoothly into their new homes and neighborhoods.
 
When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy spending time with my two boys, Carter and Caden, and our goldendoodle, Maple. Madison is not just where I do business—it’s home, and I take pride in helping others find their place here, too.

Success Stories

"Working with Coley and the Hoffman Ellis Real Estate Team was truly exceptional from start to finish. At our very first meeting, Coley walked us through the entire home selling and buying process with a comprehensive binder that laid out every step clearly. It immediately set the tone—organized, transparent, and deeply thoughtful. When it came time to sell our first home, the level of detail was unmatched. From staging suggestions to the social media exposure to the way she anticipated what potential buyers would want to know, nothing was overlooked. Her strategy not only found us the right buyer, but it aligned perfectly with the tight timeline we were hoping for. On the buying side, Coley was just as impressive. She asked smart questions, was honest and thorough, and always made sure we weren’t just rushing into something—but choosing a home that truly fit our needs. Throughout the entire journey, both Coley and Vickie were supportive, steady, and genuinely invested in our success. Buying and selling a home is one of life’s most stressful milestones, but with this team by our side, we felt comfortable, confident, and even excited. We’re so grateful for their guidance and would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone."

"Coley was exceptional. I truly couldn't think of a better person to work with when selling your home. The care that Coley put in to every step of the process made a huge difference. Our net was way higher because of Coley's work. She is also an incredible negotiator!!! My partner and I had debated selling FSBO, and we are SO GLAD we worked with Coley instead. She set realistic expectations from the start, which reassured me that she isn't one to make false promises. Coley is amazing! Edited to add - the whole team went above and beyond when I was nervous about a step in the selling process to sit with me and reassure me. It was an amazing experience!"

"We had an amazing experience working with the Hoffman Ellis team during our first home buying journey. From start to finish, we felt supported knowing that Coley or Vickie were always available whenever we needed anything. Coley, especially, went above and beyond—she answered every question, guided us through each step, and made the entire process feel seamless. She truly made us feel like we were her only clients and genuinely cared about our needs. We couldn’t recommend this team more!"

"Coley went above and beyond to help our family purchase our first home. We had an accepted offer less than 2 weeks after our initial buyer consultation! She is extremely communicative and always willing to go the extra mile for her clients. She made us feel at ease during a new and exciting adventure. We had tours with Vickie as well, and she was extremely thorough and welcoming throughout the entire process. We are so happy to have found the Hoffman Ellis team. We couldn’t have imagined a better home buying experience. Coley and Vickie have our highest recommendations. We look forward to building our relationship not only as clients but as friends."

"Coley and Vickie truly worked as a team to support my buying process. Not only did they make the entire process easy and seamless but went above and beyond even after closing day. I am very appreciative of the check ins and support offered far beyond closing day."

"We are so thankful to have had a knowledgeable and caring guide through our home buying process. Coley was always checking in, searching the market, and responding quickly to our questions. Most importantly she always made sure we felt comfortable when setting parameters for our search, or making an offer. We were able to find the perfect home, and it was much sooner than we expected to!"

"Working with Coley and the Hoffman Ellis Team has been such a wonderful experience. From the get-go, Coley was so organized and supported us through our first time home buying journey during a particularly busy season of our lives.

"I highly recommend the Hoffman Ellis Real Estate Team! From start to finish, Vickie and Coley did a truly exceptional job selling our home. This was our second time working with them, and their deep knowledge of the market clearly paid off — within a day of being on the market, we received an amazing offer, and they were there to support us every step of the way. Their communication was clear and consistent, they handled every detail with professionalism and care, and their strategy for listing, showing, and negotiating far exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for realtors who are trustworthy, market experts, and truly go above and beyond, Vickie and Coley check all the boxes!"

"Coley made the sale of our home a breeze and offered a lot of great tips to get it sell-ready. Coley also helped us with the purchase of our new home. She was always so friendly and knowledgeable when looking at other houses. Once we found the one, we experienced some bumps in the process, however, Coley made us feel like we were her only clients when I know she had many at the time. She worked around the clock and fought for us to have the best experience we could in unfortunate circumstances."

"Nicole was an incredible partner in helping me buy my first home. After a couple of years of searching, she stayed patient, supportive, and always had my best interests in mind. She held my hand (literally and figuratively) throughout the home-buying process, and was happy to help educate me every step of the way. Once we found "the one," she moved quickly and advocated for me as we submitted the offer. Her expertise, responsiveness, and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor—highly recommend!"

"Nicole made our home buying process as first time home buyers so seemless! We found a home when we weren’t entirely looking and contacted Nicole. Within 48 hours she came and toured with us, helped us get loan approval, helped us put in an offer, and get an accepted offer. We could not have done this without Nicole!"

"I want to share that if anyone is looking for a realtor, I would highly recommend Vickie Hoffman. She helped Todd and I with our first home and now our second. She is amazing, caring, knowledgeable, resourceful, smart and insightful. I had worked with her in the field of human services and had great respect for her work there. She is just as kind in her work with helping people find their homes. And for me through this process she was part therapist too! Moving is not an easy task by any means, but she communicated non-stop in multiple ways, educated me, talked me off of jumping ship a time or two and always asked what I wanted to do. I am so pleased with her services and genuine care. Please keep her in mind if you or someone you know needs a realtor."

"Nicole Ellis was amazing! She was super helpful in finding me the right locations to see, weighing pros and cons, looking at the finer details during our showings, and reading through the broker notes to make sure there were no surprises. I felt super confident going into the closing that we made the right decision. I can't wait to use Nicole again to sell our Fitchburg house in two years!"

"We highly recommend working with Coley. She helps establish what you want in a home during the first meeting and is very helpful and knowledgeable about how the process goes. As first time home buyers, she helped keep our worries at bay and was very optimistic, even though the market in late winter was very competitive. Coley and Vicki adjusted their schedules so we could make a time work to go look at homes especially at night or on weekends. Overall, this team was fantastic to work with, down to earth people and will work with in the future."

"Vickie and Coley are a DREAM to work with. As a first time home buyer, they did not sugar coat anything and made sure that my boyfriend and I found the perfect house for us. They made what could be a stressful process a stress free process which allowed us to carry our excitement from showings to closing day. They are both professional and personable. If you're looking for realtors that are honest and will advocate for their clients' best interest, these two woman are who you should contact to work with on finding your dream home, just like I did!!!!"

"The Hoffman Ellis team was wonderful to work with! This was our first home purchase, and they truly made it seamless - even enjoyable! They went above and beyond and we are so grateful because it’s the reason we got our house! The house required a super quick turnaround on showing and offer, and then inspection negotiations, and they worked at whatever time needed to get it done. Thank you Vickie and Coley!"

"My husband and I recently purchased our first home and we worked with Hoffman Ellis Real Estate. Coley was incredible the entire process. She paid close attention to what we were looking for and only presented homes that were within our wants, needs and budget. Coley advocated for us through the entire buying and negotiating process and made everything so simple from start to finish. We could not recommend Coley and her team enough. We got our dream home thanks to her! If you are looking to buy or sell, contact Hoffman Ellis Real Estate - I promise you won't be disappointed!"

"Vickie was wonderful to work with. She knew the process inside and out and was able to help us sell our condo fast. She got us an excellent offer, not only in terms of price ($12,000 over our asking price), but also, a cash offer with no contingencies, and all in the short time we wanted to complete our sale. She also helped us navigate through a problem that occurred the day before our closing. Our movers accidentally put a small hole in our wall and Vickie helped us smooth it over with the buyers and the sale went through. I highly recommend Vickie and would not hesitate to use her again."
